Everything is about chicken at this place, next to the Spaarne water. In the morning this restaurant is called Eggstore, where they serve great omelets and salads, and in evenings you can eat here the best roasted and marinated chicken of Haarlem. Every Sunday is 'Sunday Roast' where you can enjoy live music, a perfect occasion to taste their Bloody Marys.

Only open for breakfast and lunch. Meneer Frans is located in the city center, but very hidden; my favorite secret place. Especially with nice weather, their sunny yard is the perfect place for a drink- or lunch break.
